Vehicle Description
Here's your chance to get your hands on the end of an era. The 1973
Ford Mustang was the last year for the generation, and they didn't
come any lower, wider, or longer... and in the case of the Mach 1,
they didn't come any meaner looking either! So if you like classic
looks and a V8 rumble, keep reading.
There's no better way to showcase a Mach 1 than with the NACA ram
air hood on a blacked-out treatment that matches the front air dam,
rear spoiler, and revised stripe package. The whole Mach 1
aggression looks great on these long body coupes. We really love
the detail work, like how the front bumper correctly remains
body-colored, the rear chrome bumper shines like a mirror, and the
Mag wheels retain their pony center cap. In fact, you'll find a lot
of period-correct elements on this coupe. There are some areas of
the factory-correct Bright Red paint that may still be the factory
application. The overall finish has a nice shine to show off the
crisp body lines, but those looking for a show-ready finish may be
looking at an investment down the road.
A great distinctive touch on this car is the white interior. After
all, most of these came in black, but this one keeps a stock and
bright look of distinction. It fits the Mach 1 style well because
Ford also wanted a luxury image for the Mach 1. So this one still
retains its high-back bucket seats, intricate door panels, armrest
center console, integrated auxiliary gauge package, and a touch of
wood on the steering wheel. This loves to keep a stock style, and
so the only improvement will be thoughtfully integrated ones For
example, the dash pad was replaced with a fresh, smooth, and
correct piece. And while the Marti Report shows this came with an
AM radio, it has an era-correct AM/FM unit now.
The engine bay keeps the stock style going with the block valve
covers, and air grabber all radiating in a bold blue. The full
presentation is quite tidy, and so you can recognize newer pieces
like the radiator, wires, hoses, fuel lines, and distributor. The
callout tells you this is Ford's mighty 351 cubic-inch motor, and
it's hiding a few secrets. The V8 inhales deeper with a newer
Holley four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with added power out
of headers feeding the dual exhaust. It makes for a stock look but
a seriously strong runner. And to make sure you really want to
enjoy this to the fullest, it has easy cruising features like a
three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes,
and front discs.
The sale comes complete with the Marti Report, owner's manual, and
shop manuals. 1973 was the end of an era, and this Mach 1 is the
best way to salute the legend. Call today!!!
